Back to Connecticut

Kristin’s commitment to advocacy and connection became deeply personal in 2013, when she nearly lost her life to sepsis and lost her leg to necrotizing fasciitis. She became an active spokesperson for limb loss recovery and adaptive fitness, where she experienced the power of sharing experiences, resources and community.

For the past 14 years, Kristin has been with Maplewood Senior Living/Inspir, with her work including marketing, professional partnerships, fundraising and social impact. Also trained to engage with memory care residents, Kristin early on developed an appreciation for individuals and families navigating dementia and became an advocate for fundraising to support this community.

Kristin’s personal and professional life has led to Finding Fabulous, the content platform and podcast she co-founded and co-hosts with Meghan Caponiti. Finding Fabulous brings mid-life women together to navigate life transitions through guest interviews, sharing stories, ideas and curated resources.

Kristin says she is all about creating space where people feel less alone, supported and empowered to thrive at all ages.
